Your Turn to Get Organized with a Meal ePlanner!

by Stephanie @ Keeper of the Home on January 27, 10

in Getting organized, Giveaways, Homemaking

Welcome back! Have you visited our new site, Saving Naturally, where we help you live healthy and spend less?

As requested, here are the closeups of some of the pages from my homemaking binder.

My 21 Favorite Meals (well, 22)

My monthly cleaning schedule

My newest daily routine which I am still working to fully implement!

Believe me, if you're looking for someone's routines and schedules to emulate, mine probably aren't the right ones! Organizing is something I strive for, but not necessarily something I always achieve. And please always remember that when I share things like this, this is just me. Just my family, our season of life, our preferences, etc. It shouldn't tell you the "right" way to organize your own home or time, because there is no right way. Just seek the Lord and do your best to figure out how you can serve your family best!

Now it's your turn!

I promised a while back that I would be giving you access to a few of the meal planning pages from ListPlanIt, so here they are!

Favorite Recipes (general)

My 21 Meals

Menu Planner

Each of these pages is included in a ListPlanIt membership, but this is just a little sampling to give you a taste of how helpful they are! Just look for the "Print" option near the top of each page to print off as many of your own as you would like. Thanks, Jennifer, for making these available!

And another ListPlanIt giveaway...

This time it's a Meal ePlanner. Actually, 2 Meal ePlanners, to be more precise!

What exactly is a Meal ePlanner you ask? It's sort of like having a ListPlanIt membership, but with a focus on just one area... meals planning and kitchen organization. It functions similarly to an eBook, in that you download it and can print off any or all parts of it as you wish.

It includes a brief intro to how to you it and some of the particular pages within. Then it gives you 17 different pages to assist you in making your meal planning come together easier. Lists like the 21 meals shown above, both monthly and weekly meal planners, grocery shopping lists, meal inventories, recipe card pages, and even a measurement equivalents page (no more running to the computer to pull up a measurement conversion website!).

Though I really prefer having the full membership to be able to access all of the lists available, having an ePlanner gives you a taste of what there is and enough specific lists to help you get organized in a particular area, without the cost of the year long membership, since ePlanners cost a mere $4.95. They're available for each category included in a ListPlanIt membership, allowing you to just purchase a few that interest you most (although if you're going to buy several, you might want to consider just purchasing a membership to give yourself full access to everything).

Who wants to win a Meal ePlanner?

(As always, please leave a separate comment for each entry, please!)

1 Jessica January 27, 10 at 11:04 am: contacts eplanner would be my 1st pick. I just had to scramble to find addresses for my contacts gere, there, & everywhere. My contacts are in disarray & need to be organized in one place!

2 Amanda January 27, 10 at 11:20 am: I need the meal planner because my current system is really inefficient. It's working fine now, as I only have one child, but with more kids and more stuff to take care of, it won't work unless I give it a good overhaul, and this would really help!

[Reply]
3 Amanda January 27, 10 at 11:21 am: If I had my choice of e-planners, I'd go with the moving one, because we have a big move coming up, and I think it'd be really helpful. Thanks!

4 Deirdre Hopkins January 27, 10 at 11:27 am: I need meal ePlanner because I JUST had a baby, (7 weeks ago). I've never meal planned before and I can use all the help I can get right now working onhalf a brain. :)

6 Sarah January 27, 10 at 1:03 pm: I would love the ePlanner because I am totally new to the whole meal planning thing and need a little hand holding! I know it would save us time and money but sometimes it seems so overwhelming to even know where to start.

The other ePlanner I really like is the Planner planner. Besides the name.....I love the calenders and the daily schedules. I think this would be a lot more useful than scraps of paper with to-do lists scribbled on them all over my house!
